Hooray - it's even more beautiful in person than in the photos. I'm boxing it up and sending it off to MARS in the morning. Thank you Knit for making it, and to Jingles for helping get it sold, and to Cali (who unbeknownst to me kept the bidding war going!). And thank you MARS for all you do

Thanks to Knitmaster, and mary Jane and everyone else who bid on this hat I can attest that it is a great addition to any wardrobe!!! good for swan counting, eagle watching or just walkin in the woods.

Opie- you look mahvelous! Again, my thanks to you for your kind generosity! And repeated thanks to Mary Jane for giving me so much help. Thanks to Cali, too :-) and Maj, of course, for all you do. It wa fun to be part of this adventure! I will knit on!
